Figure 4. . coculture number, extracellular matrix, product type and price expected by researchers.

Figure 4. 

(A) ACR prefer complex 3D culture systems enabling the coculture of more than four types of cells. ECR require two or three cell types in coculture. (B) ACR prefer 3D scaffold/hydrogel and endogenous ECM. ECR prefer thin coating of ECM molecules and 3D scaffold/hydrogel. (C) ACR prefer more customized culture systems. ECR require standardized products. (D) ACR are willing to pay double or even triple price for 3D culture models. ECR will pay less.

ACR: Advanced-career researcher; ECM: Extracellular matrix; ECR: Early-career researcher.
